Another Mini Pumpkin
I used a Dremel to get the skin off and then used an Xacto knife to cut all the triangles. I wanted them to be scallops (first row) but it wasn’t turning out right so I changed it. Too short for a tea light, so phone light it is.

My Entry For The Pumpkin Decorating Contest At Work Last Halloween
My work had a pumpkin decorating contest last Halloween and this was my entry (didn't realize I hadn't posted) it came out pretty close to how I imagined it. Not freaky, just kind of mellow. It can be lit from the front or back. I prefer the backlit look.
My entry for this will be a sleepy hollow theme, I think, cause I bought a second pumpkin when the craft store had them 70% off after Halloween.

Pumpkin Beholder
So I had an idea of a pumpkin beholder. I couldn't get gourds, so used carrots (and a parsnip - thanks Tesco soup mix). Took roughly two episodes of Andor to make, and I had to liberally stabilize the carrots with cocktail sticks/toothpicks so they wouldn't sag. My DnD ancestral guardian/eldritch knight/knowledge cleric halfling for scale. Definitely boss monster-sized.
10/10 - recommend, wasn't impossibly hard, would do it again.
